1.A judge in Chile has ordered the arrest of at least 120 former military and secret police officials on allegations of human rights abuses committed during the military government of General Augusto Pinochet.

参考翻译：一名智利法官下令逮捕至少120名前军事和秘密警察官员，原因是他们在奥古斯托·皮诺切特(Augusto Pinochet)军事政府独裁时期侵犯人权。

结构分析：这句话的主干是A judge in Chile has ordered the arrest of……at least 120 former military and secret police officials说明逮捕对象。on allegations of human rights abuses说明逮捕原因。committed during the military……是过去分词做后置定语，修饰human rights abuses。

2.Among those names is Manuel Contreras who has already serving a life sentence in connection with other crimes he committed as head of the Chilean secret police.

参考翻译：逮捕令中包括Manuel Contreras，他担任智利秘密警察负责人时曾经犯下其他罪行，被判处无期徒刑，现在正在服刑。

结构分析：这句话的主干是Among those names is Manuel Contreras。后面是who引导的定语从句，修饰Manuel Contreras。he committed是定语从句，修饰other crimes。

3.But said he believed it would only be changed if the current Slovak government is replaced.

参考翻译：但是他说，他相信，只有现在的斯洛伐克政府被取代，这种形势才有可能改变。

语法学习：only if和as long as

两者均可引导从句置于主句之后，也可置于主句之前。但是，当only if 引导的状语从句置于主句之前时，其后的主句要用倒装语序，而且 as long as 引导的从句置于主句之前不用倒装。如：

As long as it doesn’t rain we can play. 只要不下雨，我们就能玩。
